Feb. 18 (UPI) -- A suicide bomber blew himself up outside a rally by a radical religious group in southwestern Pakistan, killing at least eight people and injuring nearly two dozen others, authorities said.
Police chief Abdul Razzak Cheema told reporters the suicide bomber detonated explosives strapped to his chest Monday after facing resistance from security officers on attempting to enter a rally of Islamic activists in Quetta, the capital of southwestern Balochistan province.
